My first owl, more than a glimpse.

I was pretty excited to get my first owl shots today. I was hiking and unwittingly flushed a large bird.
After scolding myself for not seeing it sooner, I turn around and I'm face to face with this guy.

Thanks for looking

Sometimes the view behind us will give us something new. I got fox pics by doing that very thing once. Nice set.

Wow! Great set.

Great set; owls always look like they're calling you an idiot in their mind!

 

[ZombiesniperJr]

Great set there's a nest nearby as that's a fledgling Great horned owl

Thanks very much to all. It was a real thrill. I felt bad that I disturbed them. Now I know where to approach carefully and look.
